Routes

You can create a route in Movescount, or import a route created with another watch from your computer to Movescount. You can also record a route with your Suunto Ambit3 Vertical and upload it to Movescount (see Recording tracks).

Under MY ROUTES, click on the route you want to delete and click DELETE.

Sync your Suunto Ambit3 Vertical with Movescount using Suunto Movescount App (manually start sync, see Syncing with mobile app) or by using Moveslink and the supplied USB cable.

Navigating a route

You can navigate a route you have transferred to your Suunto Ambit3 Vertical from Suunto Movescount or a track saved in your logbook.

If you are using the compass for the first time, you need to calibrate it (see Calibrating compass). After activating the compass, the watch will begin searching for a GPS signal. After the watch acquires a GPS signal, you can begin to navigate a route.

To navigate a route:

Press Start to enter the start menu.

Scroll to NAVIGATION with Start Stop and press Next.

Press Next to enter Routes.

Scroll to the route you want to navigate with Start Stop or Light Lock and press Next.

Press NEXT to select Navigate.
All navigating is recorded. If you watch has more than one sport mode, you are prompted to select one.

Select Forwards or Backwards to chose the direction you want to navigate (from the first waypoint or the last).

Start navigating. The watch informs you when you are approaching the beginning of the route.

During navigation

While navigating, press View to scroll the following views:
